I can't get second day hair to save my life so it'll be interesting to see if anyone has hair that looks like mine in a morning (God forbid!) and if so, what they do to get it looking decent. There may yet be hope for me.

Starmie, Me either! I will allow myself to have 2nd day hair now and then if I'm staying home but never to work. I look like the Doc from back to the future when I wake up. I say I have hair elves that visit me at night. Sit on my pillow and pull on my hair.

I pineapple every night. It gives me decent volume. In the morning I slowly take the pony tail off & then shake my hair from scalp. I try my best not to touch the top so I don't get crown frizz. I then use a little CO to seperate my curls to make my hair have the appearance of more thickness. Since this is second day hair I don't add gel or water that is usually for 3rd day hair for me.

Bottom part of picture is part of day one hair, pre-SOTC. The first four blocks are morning hair, with the fourth block as my "after" hair. Since I was heading out to a dance class, I didn't fuss with it as much as I did when I returned from the dance class; the last two blocks was my hair in the afternoon.

No pic's to share at this time but when mine reaches a good length it typically looks the same as it did when I went to bed. When it is short, that is a completely different ball game. I wake up looking like I was visited by an 80's hair band in my slumber.

When I hear terms like "hipster" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??

My routine is simple -- before bed, I flip my head upside down, stretch open the band of my sleep cap and pull it over my hair.

When I get up in the morning, first I laugh at how ridiculous my hair looks when I take the cap off. Then I slide my hands under my hair (by the nape of my neck) and fluff it up, then rearrange any stray strands. If I have a particularly wonky piece of hair, I'll wet it with water and scrunch it into place. Generally, though, I just take the cap off and fluff my hair.

The pictures are: Cap on; right after cap comes off (one of my cats decided to join me at this point); and after my hair is settled into place. The slightly maniacal smile is because we're in the midst of our eleventy-millionth Winter Storm Watch here in Illinois, with 4-8 inches of snow predicted. :confused3:

Gosh, I wish my routine was that easy! I'm in IL too, in the midst of this awfulness, I feel the attitude.
